Bully in the neighborhood?

My son has Asperger's Disorder. He is a Target with a capital T. This one kid in the nieghborhood asked him to hang out yesterday and off they went to the schoolyard down the street.
When my son said he didn't want to play baseball the "bully" picked up the bat and threatened him, stole his scooter, gave back the scooter, than proceeded with name calling - P****, wimp, M*****F*****. Then told my son to go F*** himself, go F*** his mom and Go F*** his friends. Then this kid proceeded to go to another kids house on the block and got him to join in on the verbal abuse. I talked to the family to let them know that in the future if the kid is on my property or harrasses us agian I will physically remove him or call in athorities if needed. It is not the first time this kid has harrassed my son.I know it won't be the last. What do you think would be a good or better way to handle the prob? The family said,"Well, he'll have to learn sometime". That was the extent of reaction.

As to HD's answer: This kid hasn't been around in two years. I was hoping things had changed. That doesn't make me or my son out to be a victim purposefully. The kid put on a good face to me and got my son out of adult site and bullied him. Your take on being a victim is skewed. I talked to his aunt ( the family that is on the block - my neighboor) and let her know to keep him away and I will be taking action. If you don't have a child who is socially ostrisized than you don't have a clue as to handle things. I'm obviously still learning. But we are not "victims" in the typicle sense. Look up Asperger's and you will learn a lot. Why don't you go and volunteer for a day at an autism fundraiser and learn for yourself how socially akward these kids can be. Than come back and tell me you wouldn't try any and all avenues to help him make friends.

My heart breaks for kids like your son, and my blood boils when I hear about bullies like that kid. "Well, he'll have to learn sometime." Yeah, the parents will have to teach their son to be a decent human being sometime, or else he'll end up being hauled away in handcuffs. I know this may sound extreme, but make a report with the police. The boy threatened your son with a baseball bat; that is considered a deadly weapon, as he could have seriously hurt him. The language he used was appalling, and considering your son has Asperger's, this could count as a hate crime. The report will just make the local police aware of what's going on in case there are any more incidents. Make sure you let them know that you have warned the boy to stay away from your son and your property. Since the idiot parents won't teach their son how to act like a human, perhaps seeing him dragged off in handcuffs will teach all of them a lesson next time. Good luck.
*EDIT* It is neither your fault nor your son's fault. Don't pay any attention to the ignorant comment; one day, someone will do something horrible to her child. The ones to blame are the bully and his parents. Hang in there

I think the question should be, "why did you let your son leave your house with a person who is known for bullying?" You wrote that the bully had harrassed him in the past and that your son is target with a capital T......
You kind of set your boy up for this one, didn't you? Watch him closer and keep this little punk away from him.
Stop being the victim- this one is your fault. Find some better friends for your son and encourage healthier friendships.

Sorry to hear about your son. Just tell him to stay away from the bully and not listen to him. I know it's easier said than done. As a father, I would approach the kids dad and tell him that his son's behavior is deplorable. Don't expect any action on his behalf. I would just talk to him to vent. Good thing about it is that kids grow out of it.

Sometimes the parents truly aren't to blame. Kids today have so much outside influences. I'm not one to push for police because of excessive police brutality, however your son shouldn't have to take that kind of abuse from anybody. I think law enforcement is the only way to go.
